37、3 and EN 60728 series deal with cable networks including equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of television and sound signals and for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of data signals for interactive services using all ap

38、plicable transmission media. These signals are typically transmitted in networks by frequency-multiplexing techniques. This includes for instance: regional and local broadband cable networks, extended satellite and terrestrial television distribution networks and systems, individual satellite and te

39、rrestrial television receiving systems and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations used in such cable networks, distribution and receiving systems. The extent of this standardization work is from the antennas and/or special signal source inputs to the headend or other interface points to t

The standardization of any user terminals (i.e. tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals etc.)

46、ns are manifest as a series of beats (caused by analogue downstream channels) or a band(s) of noise (caused by digital downstream channels) most noticeably in the upstream path. CPD may also be present in the downstream path, but since it adds with other downstream distortions (i.e. CTB and CSO), ca

The nonlinear behaviour found at passive junctions may be due to a number of reasons including corrosion, typically from exposure to the elements, dissimilar metals, contact pressure, and junctions involving connectors cont
